Have you a spade, a hoe and a rake! Or can you borrow these tools? And have you or can you get the use of' enough ground for a few short rows of sugar beets I If so, you can make your own sugar syrup. . - You can get 3 to 5 quarts of good syrup from each bushel oP sugar beets you raise owing to the quality of the beets. It will be easier to make the 5 than the 3 quarts, lor it will take less boiling to get the water out. f You can kick out from under the robbery of the Mormon sugar trust. - . You can use the syrup for your preserving; for your sweetening of all kinds. i And sugar beets are good for many things.5 They are good for anything that ofher beets are good for and then some. j They are white beets. The sundry civil bill, appropriat ing a half billion dollars, has been reported to the house. It is a cut of billion and a half from the esti mates and two-thirds of tne great amount i tor the treatment and re habilitation of former service men. The primary in Nebraska wat close; but the election of Colonel Bryan as a delegate to the San Fran cisco convention Is conceded. It would not be a Democratic pow-wow without the man who fell off his horse at Miami, Fla., during the Spanish-American war. Get your sugar seed now, and plant it. Get it from any, seedsman. A pound will plant a tenth of an acre- A few ounces will produce all the sugar beets for all the syrup needed by an ordinary family. j You can raise sugar beets anywhere; the better, warmer and better drained the soil, the better beets, and the more sugar content hence the more syrup. The Salem Slogan issue of The Statesman of next Thursday will be devoted to sugar beets. ' There will be full directions for making the syrup. It is simple. Any one can make it. , But the thing, right now,j is to get the seed and raise the beets. Raise a few rows, any way, for your own use.

They hare a great system In Uru guay Down there If the president or the republic doesn't like the way an editor writes about him he sends him a challenge and the two dis tinguished persons clash on the field of honor with sawed-off shotguns or some other tool of carnage. Just Imagine President Wilson dealing with William Randoph Hearst in this Impressive manner: If two eminent personages armed with safety razors were thus to con front one another In the New York ball park, enough bleecher seals could be sold to make a dent in the national debt. Barney Baruch advises that we wear our old clothes in order to beat the high cost of clothing.

Cities are not passing ordinances regulating the speed of airships, but they are fixing the height at which they may pass. The city of Newark. for instance, places a penalty upon an aeronaut who flutters over that Jersey' jewel at a height ot less than 4000 feet. If a flyer drops down to 2500 feet or so, an aerial cop Is likely to take up the chase and pinch him between clouds. The govern- HAKKM, M A It KM F.M.
